Even amid lack of eagles, early final round Masters groups turn No. 13 into an adventure on Sunday

Although the 13th hole at Augusta National Golf Club hasn't had the usual amount of eagles during this year's Masters Tournament, Sunday wasn't short of excitement during the early pairings.

Tiger Woods had to chip lefthanded near azaleas and Daniel Berger recorded a triple bogey.

Woods' second shot cleared the green and rolled into the plants behind the green. His ball stopped beside an azalea, leaving the five-time Masters champion with little stance to hit a shot.

After several attempts to back into the bush, Woods turned a wedge around and punched it left-handed onto the green. He two-putted for par.

Only Tony Finau scored a 3 on the par 5 known as Azalea, just the hole's fourth eagle of the tournament. Comparatively, 17 eagles were made in 2019, when the hole played at its easiest in tournament history.

John Rahm, Bubba Watson and seven other players birdied the hole on Sunday.
